if this were a contest
i know i would lose
and i gave up months ago
but i still have your bruise
a life without you, i'd like to know
so love just let me go

you have bruised my heart and i still feel the pain
from what part of you did i have to gain?
because i gave my all to you
and you pushed me away
so love just let me go

you didn't give me chances so there were none to take
and keep me long enough to feel my heart break
and all you've done is leave me out here in the cold
so love, just let me go

and i'm still waiting for a time when it all works out
when i find someone that doesn't make me
doubt myself
but all i know of love to date is pain
so love, please let me go
